cant see any way hales will be partnering cook come the first home test of the summer
so leaves us with two options my preferred option is bump everyone up a spot, play bairstow as a batsman only and give buttler the gloves back If we just want a wicketkeeper I'd much prefer James Foster/Chris Read. |

Buttler needs to start scoring runs if he wants to get back in the team

Not sure about Compton opening. Think he is better at 3
Out of the ones we've tried, Lyth probably has the best chance although I'd give Carberry another go. Rogers and Voges have showed that age need not be an issue |

I agree but I'd much prefer we can find an Opener than have Buttler return.

If Compton does open again though he will have to score quicker than he did against New Zealand. |

As I say, there's a lot of cricket between the end of this Test and the start of next, trhink we should all keep an open mind and see what develops. Vince and Malan scoring big in a-team, under-19 world-cup, domestic cricket, let's not shoehorn anyone in yet. Talking of lions/u-19s and not about batting, really do think the Currans. particularly Sam are the future. |

you seriously comparing a guy with the three fastest ODI centuries ever for england with a 28 year old journeyman who has a first class average of 31 ?
Trescothick was also averaging in the 30's before given the chance and he did great for England. |

I agree Compton is better as a number three he was never an Opener at Somerset and (cureently) at Middlesex.
If Compton does open again though he will have to score quicker than he did against New Zealand. Nope he'd just have to score more. |

People seem to have forgotten about Dunn, who is quick too. Yeah, Surrey not my fave county, but hopefully they can nurse these cricketers through, decent bit of rotation would be in order.
Alec Stewart seems to talk a lot of sense about protecting players from burnout so hopefully he uses the resourses sensibly I think with all the talent we have , you may change your views and fall in love with the cricket we play

Worrying news for Boof
Australia's coach Darren Lehmann's immediate future is under a cloud after he was diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis during the final ODI against India. Lehmann was hospitalised after the condition which he had previously suffered in 2007 was confirmed. Michael Di Venuto, the assistant coach, will take charge of the team during the T20I series against India while Lehmann undergoes treatment. http://www.espncricinfo.com/australi...ry/964717.html |

Big day for KP and Luke Wright in the morning in the Big Bash Final
Doubt either of them will make Englands' T20 World Cup squad though. KP has burnt his bridges and even if he got a 17 ball century , wouldn't stand a chance Been impressed with Rashid and Willey and their experience should hold them in good stead for the T20 Can't think of another major final where brothers have captained the opposing teams ? |

I was surprised as well. All, I can think is that they are managing their workload and I haven't convinced myself with that argument !!! ![]() Stars have been put into bat so it will be watching the BB to begin with this morning and hoping for a a Luke Wright/KP show |

How does Ravi get a gig as a pundit
Besides being bland and not adding anything inciteful, he looks like he's just got out of bed ! Creased shirt and unbrushed hair .. |
